Another Sleepless Night

Another Sleepless Night

A Poem by Travis Prino

He said "you know the air is cold at night"

she said "will it matter if I hold you tight"

he said "I guess that it is plain to see"

she said "I know exactly what you mean"

he said "the problem lies in both of us"

she said "how can we get back the trust"

he said "the question isn't how but why"

she said "it never hurt before to try"


and they sit together but in separate homes

they finally realize what was once unknown

and as they sit together but in separate homes

they never felt so close, felt so alone


he said "it's getting late but I don't care"

she said "if you want to leave now don't you dare"

he said "I wouldn't even contemplate"

she said "just leave it in the hands of fate"

he said "how did all this get so bad?"

she said "somewhere we lost what we had"

he said "it doesn't have to be like this"

she said "forget the chances that we've missed"


and they sit together but in separate homes

they finally realize what was once unknown

and as they sit together but in separate homes

they never felt so close, felt so alone


he said "I still don't understand you know"

she said "I think that it is best you go"

he said "tell me when we'll meet again"

she said "there's always time if we are friends"

he said "but don't you see that I want more"

she said "you never really did before"

he said "the thought of you won't leave my mind"

she said "we're going to have to give it time"


and they sit together but in separate homes

they finally realize what was once unknown

and as they sit together but in separate homes

they never felt so close, felt so alone


he never felt so close

she never felt alone

he never felt alone

she never felt so close

they never felt so close, felt so alone.

Just a little caveat to my writing, 95% of what I write are lyrics so excuse the length and repetition and don't be deterred by that. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment. more..
